Ametrine - Bolivia

100% natural Ametrine from Bolivia

Ametrine is cut from nodules, leaving a dull surface from the saw. To improve appearance and marketability, the stones are tumbled for a polished finish. Tumbling may also help bypass Bolivian export restrictions on rough stones by giving them a 'finished' look.
